Spring Mythology Poems

Struggling
With carrying branches to dry for kindling,

the seemingly extra long winter and those
who keep bringing it;
a shadow drifts over me like a primordial raven,
and a rush...

Gray,
Dismal
Rainy days.
Then leafless trees,
As it gets warmer,
All start to sprout new buds.
Migratory birds appear.
Abandoning the underworld, 
And the ruler of the dead, Hades,
Persephone returns to...
